I come from a true Italian family. Every Sunday we would go to my grandmothers house for true Italian cooking. She would make almost anything you could imagine (as long as its Itallian) and would always use our family's own recipe for homemade pasta sauce. A recipe they brought over themselves from Italy.

Besides that I  pretty much grew up working in the family business: Pizza. Since i was 2 my family has owned a pizza shop and i have been there almost every day to help. The business over all is doing pretty good however the stress and sacrifice of running a business has taken a toll on me and my family. Personally growing up i had to sacrifice a lot for the business. Since the business was just starting I always had to be there helping which left little time for friends or outside activities. My parents were also there almost every waking minute causing them a lot of stress, and anger eventually leading to infidelity and divorce. 

All this has given me a sort of pessimistic view about relationships and trusting people. Part of the reason im here on tools is to resolves these issues and just become better at managing my everyday life.
